q2 · i? · qualitative · r?
Future-outlook finding from the I-PREP statewide scan of program representatives and stakeholders. The report notes disagreement about whether the policy is too constricting, particularly in rural areas and in the gender and racial diversity of candidates.
"While many expressed optimism about the future of principal preparation in Illinois, one widespread concern is that lower enrollment in principal preparation programs will eventually lead to more constriction than initially envisioned of the principal pipeline, thus leading to shortages of qualified candidates."
